PENDENCY OF CLASS ACTION

Class Action Law Suit

A class action law suit is now pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York under the caption: In re Petrobras Securities Litigation
(No. 14-CV-09662 (JSR)), alleging violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 10b-5, as well as Section 11 of the
Securities Act of 1933. The suit is brought on behalf of investors for alleged violations of the federal securities laws by defendants for purportedly concealing a multi-year,
multi-billion dollar bribery and kickback scheme.

A class action is a type of lawsuit in which one or several individuals or entities prosecute claims on behalf of all members of a group of similarly-situated persons and
entities to obtain monetary or other relief for the benefit of the entire group, known as a class. Class actions are used to decide legal and factual issues that are common to all
members of a class.
